BC4J VSM - Unable to determine the value of OC4J_HOME

Question

I'm on step 8 of the "Configuring the application" section and I'm getting the error "Unable to determine the value of OC4J_HOME" after running bc4j2oc4j.bat.
Seems that the instruction assume that the OC4J_HOME is already set, so I set a system variable OC4J_HOME to C:\oracle\JDev903.1\j2ee\home. I then re-run bc4j2oc4j.bat and get the same error and now I'm totally lost.
Also, given that I using W2K and want to get the BC4J-VSM app deployed to 9iAS, not the stand-alone server, should not the OC4J_HOME be set to 9iAS?
Need some help.
Thanks,

Hi Neelesh,
I have set the OC4J_HOME as you suggested and then ran the bc4j2oc4j script. I then started JDeveloper, opened the VSM workspace, created db connections, made sure that Struts Commons classpath is pointing to jars in <JDEV_HOME>/jakarta-struts/librebuilt, then Rebuilt VSM-BC4J.jws. Then tried to run the VSM app within JDeveloper and I get the error listed below from the browser as the app tries to load.
